Internet Animal Trade
The internet has become a haven for sales of exotic pets and animal products, many of them illegal and made from endangered species, a study released this week has found.
Between November 2004 and January 2005, International Fund for Animal Welfare found thousands of endangered animals and animal products available for purchase over the internet, including a live Siberian tiger for $70,000, a lion, peregrine falcons and many medicines made from leopard, tiger, rhino and elephant parts.
